69: You've been tricked!

After setting up the Formation, Wei Zhou nodded in satisfaction and injected a few more Spirit Stones into the Formation Plate!

Then he said,

"Not bad, not bad. This way, those insect Yao Beasts won't be able to get in! However, I'll set up another Slaughter Formation! When those insect Yao Beasts dare to force their way in, they'll all turn into nutrients for the medicinal plants in my medicinal field!"

"Heh! Heh! Heh—!"

Wei Zhou covered his face and let out a series of villainous cackles!

Afterward, he took out another Formation Plate and four Formation Flags from his Storage Pouch!

He set them up according to the previous process!

After setting up the Formation, Wei Zhou transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky! In an instant, he had disappeared from the area!

In a flash, he had returned to his Immortal Cave!

He lightly clapped his hands and walked into his secluded Cultivation area again!

He restarted his two-point-one-line Cultivation life between his secluded Cultivation area and the medicinal field!

Time flew by; spring went and autumn came—a year passed! The leaves of the old tree outside the house grew, turned green, then yellow, and then fell! This cycle repeated!

On this day, Wei Zhou opened his eyes!

A hint of emerald green vitality suddenly flashed in his eyes!

He released his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Peak! The ancient tree phantom behind him was also much more solid than a year ago!

Now, his "Taiyi Azure Wood Art" was steadily advancing towards Major Achievement!

His Cultivation Realm was just one step away from entering the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! This was even faster than he had anticipated!

The medicinal plants in the medicinal field had also been harvested once! During this period, he only gained two or three entries!

They were Abundant Mana, Essence Blood Spring, and Abundant Lifespan! Abundant Lifespan had been used by him!

Using that entry increased his lifespan by another 100 years, officially reaching the 650-year level!

In addition, due to the special nature of his Cultivation Technique, his Cultivation had broken through quite a bit in recent years!

His lifespan also naturally reached the 700-year level!

Wei Zhou slowly stood up and muttered to himself.

"The resources on me are no longer enough for me to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! It seems I have to go out and find resources!"

"But before I go out, I must prepare well!"

With that said, Wei Zhou quickly went to make preparations!

......

A few incense sticks later, Wei Zhou arrived at the lake! Gazing at his handsome reflection in the lake, he flamboyantly tossed his head!

He clicked his tongue and said,

"Tsk! Who is this handsome guy? How can he be so handsome! Oh, it's me! o(^▽^)o"

After speaking, Wei Zhou checked himself and, after confirming everything was in order,

He summoned his Magic Treasure sword from his Storage Pouch, and the Magic Treasure sword slowly descended before him!

Wei Zhou lightly flew up, and after landing on the Magic Treasure sword, his entire being, along with the Magic Treasure sword, instantly transformed into a streak of light!

He sped toward the distant direction!

(The Formation in the valley had already been activated! Because Wei Zhou was the owner here, he flew out unimpeded!)

After flying for a distance, Wei Zhou used the Qi Concealment Skill to change his aura! He hid his Realm, only revealing Qi Refinement Stage 6!

And he transformed his appearance into that of a sickly scholar!

He casually chose a direction and flew leisurely on his sword!

After flying for a distance on his sword, Wei Zhou sensed a powerful aura, no weaker than his own, pursuing him from behind!

However, the owner of this aura did not carry any ill will or greed! So Wei Zhou maintained his original speed and continued to fly on his sword!

Before long, that Cultivator caught up!

That Cultivator shouted to Wei Zhou from afar.

"Fellow Daoist, wait! Fellow Daoist, wait!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhou stopped and turned to look at that Cultivator!

He saw a Fat Daoist, holding a whisk, rushing towards him in a hurry!

Behind him followed a large crowd of...

People!

Wei Zhou looked at the large crowd of people behind him and immediately realized that those people were chasing this Fat Daoist!

Without another word, he immediately revealed his true form! He fully urged his Magic Treasure sword and turned around to flee!

After running for an unknown amount of time, he managed to glance back! He saw that the Fat Daoist was still following him!

At this moment, the Fat Daoist was panting heavily! He shouted loudly to Wei Zhou.

"Dao Brother, wait! Dao Brother, wait!"

He even specifically looked back at the group of people, then put on an anxious expression and said to Wei Zhou.

"Brother Li, wait for me! Didn't we agree to split these treasures evenly after snatching them!"

The Fat Daoist's voice naturally reached Wei Zhou's ears!

He cursed under his breath!

"You dead fatso!"

Then he urged the Magic Treasure under his feet even harder, speeding away into the distance! From time to time, he would pop a handful of Medicinal Pills that restored Spiritual Power into his mouth!

At this moment, even if he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he dared not stop! Just now, he had a slight perception and was shocked to discover that there were no less than 30 Foundation Establishment Cultivators in that large crowd!

He couldn't help but admire the Fat Daoist, who was still alive after being pursued by over 30 Foundation Establishment Cultivators and more than 60 Qi Refinement Great Perfection Cultivators! Either he was a disciple of a major power, or he had some top-tier Magic Treasure on him!

......

Behind them, the large crowd of people heard this, and several different voices came forth!

"Fellow Daoists, quickly catch up to that dead fatso! The person in front must be this dead fatso's accomplice! We cannot let them meet up! It will only be more troublesome to catch both of them then!"

"That's right! Fellow Daoists, quickly catch up to that dead fatso! He almost got all the treasures from that ruin! If we take him down, we'll have all the resources needed to Cultivate to the Golden Core Stage! Charge!"

Among the vast crowd, a Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage muttered softly.

"When the treasures are snatched, they will have nothing to do with us Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators with weaker cultivation!"

Although the voice was very low, there were many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators among this group, and they all heard it with ease! They all fixed sharp gazes on that Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator!

That Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator flinched and fell silent!

One of the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators snorted coldly and said.

"Hmph! A mere Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, it's already good enough that we don't use you as cannon fodder, and you still want to share treasures!"

"Truly ignorant!"

After the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator spoke, several other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators echoed his words!

"Fellow Daoist is right! We Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators don't even have enough to split those treasures, how dare he, a mere Qi Refinement Great Perfection, dream of these treasures!"

"......"

"......"

Wei Zhou took another glance back when he had a moment; the Fat Daoist and the large crowd of people behind him were still hot on his heels!

He could only inject more Mana into the Magic Treasure sword and fly further away on his sword!
